Thanks for the advice guys. I set this up over the weekend and am very happy with the results. It's also the first time I've taken my PS3 online since I bought it in January and I'm loving the ability to download content like HD theatrical trailers.

One thing I wanted to mention was the type of coaxial cable splitter I used. When I set up my cable modem, I noticed it recommended to use a 5-1000 MHz splitter, but the only one I had was a 5-900 MHz splitter. Will this impact the performance/strength of the cable signal to my HDTV and to my cable modem significantly? I had purchased another splitter from Best Buy the day before (in case I couldn't find my splitter) but it's rating was even worse: 5-100MHz.
